This study shows that chronic beta3-AR stimulation improves metabolic function in aged mice by enhancing thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue and lipid turnover in white adipose tissue.

This study shows that inhibiting IRE1 improves insulin sensitivity, thermogenesis, and reduces metabolically active adipose tissue macrophages in obese mice.

This study identifies dSLC5A5 as the first Drosophila glucose transporter in the midgut and shows it regulates glucose absorption and systemic homeostasis through endocytosis and lysosomal degradation.
